This is why I never accepted the general denominator "human". Ive always known this category to include many unviable beings.

Thus, this caste division is not entirely a joke. We may have to help nature out a little bit in the coming centuries where she will definitively separate the leeches from the beings.

Human nature is just starting to show its inner rift, and it is an absolute rift. There will be two entirely separate human species at the end of 500 years.

This is probably correct. We converged into Homo sapiens, but there is no reason to think that at some point it will not diverge again. This is predicted in such visionary works as 1984 and The Time Machine.

Ive read (not been able to verify, obviously) the Neanderthal was far more capable of reason than Homo sapiens, which caused him to think longer, which caused him to lose in the fight.

Meaning that we need to become vigilant against the type that is abandoning its reasoning faculties - they can become a bigger problem as they lose more cognitive capacities. The fight against stupidity is the hardest there is, as stupidity won't flinch driving the whole world including itself into the ground, since it simply isn't able to recognize any reality.

Perhaps the dumbest thing any philosopher ever did was to figure he needs to be polite to placate his audience.A polite philosopher is like a caged animal. To a philosopher, most people must always appear insufferably weak, and he cant compromise to that weakness.Thence how there have been no Christian philosophers.

Our path of increasing power will more and more require of us that we judge and condemn to oblivion those that refuse to engage reality. This is how Athens was born back in the day, by expelling the dumb, which is to say the weak, the scared.

Philosophy has been mistaken for something merely theoretical for too long.

Keep it up then.My latest video on the Tree of Life is on this subject.The outcome is favourable for Germany, the most sober and realistic country of the west. Meaning: the most ruthless, firstly vs itself.

Anyway, not much can be done now, it would seem, as the Germans aren't inclined to disagree with any authority whatsoever. Islam is therefore widely understood and appreciate among the German working class. Turkish German Integration is powerful, a first order force in Northern Europe - it pervades the lower middle class in Holland, as well as strong layers the police force. Turks, man. They are the largest relative depository of Khan-seed and are not about to stop.

The Turks have basically settled as the ideal German - they have co opted the lower backbone of the most powerful fighting race in Europe. The Germans, man.

They've purged themselves of Jews and have gotten in Turks instead. Pretty much as Kaiser Wilhelm II said he'd like it done.

These arent my choices, mind you. But having lived in the German speaking world, and having extensively experienced the rest of Western Europe, I am not mournful. Nothing will be lost that hasn't already been squandered to the American exultation of the downtrodden, cultural Marxism.

No, theirs was the exact opposite. It is surprising that you would think of nazis and Stalinists as enemies of stupidity, fear and weakness. They are the archetypical herd-species, idiots, too scared to look at their own shadow.

Kierkegaard is the obvious one, more interestingly are the modern philosophers and namely a Jewish one Hilary Putnam.

"Putnam, demonstrated that even for a philosopher, life’s spiritual and existential dimensions must be given their place. It was through Judaism, that he found a way to make sense of the soul searching and questioning many Westerners have and of the inner tensions most feel.

Putnam’s return to Judaism, especially given the bounds of his academic discipline, is a testament of his intellectual probity, and given the demands of the every-day, of a reflective human being".

Hegel... yea I suppose he claimed that he thought of himself as a kristjun. I don't find it back in his writings at all. Decartes, yeah he said it was important to uphold religion, but he didn't actually state that he believes.

As for the third, which you find most important: you seem to propose that Judaism is a form of Christianity. In fact Judaism rejects every single tenet of Christianity.

There are quite a few bygone philosophers who have been theists and there are a few living ones, including Putnam (now deceased 2016) who was a practicing Jew, although it's not always easy to tell if Jews are religious or not. I should have made the distinction between Christian and Jew in my previous post, it did occur to me to do so, but I got lazy I guess and sure enough I am pulled up for it. One of the FEW similarities in being both Christian and Jew is that they believe in the same God, Jehovah and they see the hand of God in the origins of the world, but correct me if I am wrong. Theology is a large branch in philosophy where God is a very serious topic and one of the big questions that philosophy concerns itself with, cast your eyes down the topics of this Forum alone. It is a big question and it seems that more philosophers believe in God today than yesteryear, perhaps because in the past an analytical philosopher would tend to believe that religious language is meaningless, or primarily emotive, but that is not the case today, or perhaps the statements of evolution have been examined more closely and they are finding that they are simply assertions.

In the end, there are two aspects of the Jewish God to which the Christians also respond in the same literal fashion: the Father above the Abyss and the Father below the Abyss. But that is a minority of aspects.

If these questions puzzle you half as powerfully as they have puzzled me since a bizarre end of a life of a family member, I think you might enjoy these videos. All this is merely the beginning of shedding some light on the Jewish God, and the way that Christ emerges in that light.

All exact scientists have acknowledged "God", because it simply refers to the cause of such things as gravity, which has no rationally attributable cause - if you do not count my own work, that is.

You're very welcome, Shieldmaiden. I hope that the visual association sequences have the power to captivate your deep-mind and reveal some of the true associative quality of the tree - and thus of God.

Having listened to the Rabbi Wolf's comments and watching your vids another element of the religious question began to form in my head. There are real psychological differences between Christianity and Judaism.

Jung said the difference between Freud's approach and his own had much to do with Freud's Jewish background and his own Christian up bring. There is truth in this.

Jung writes

"I suggested years ago that every psychological theory should be criticised in the first instance as a subjective confession....this subjective premise is identical with our psychic idiosyncrasy. Idiosyncrasy is conditioned (1) by the individual, and (2) by the family, (3) by the nation, race, climate, locality and history.......I am proud of my subjective premises, I love the Swiss earth in them, I am grateful to my theological forebears for having passed on to me the Christian premise....

and Freud's Jewish psychology is similarly conditioned by the history of the Jewish people

"May it not be asked wherein lie the peculiar differences between an essentially Jewish and essentially Christian outlook....? Are we really to believe that a tribe which has wandered through history for several thousand years as "God's chosen people" was not put up to such an idea by some quite special psychological peculiarity? If no differences exist, how do we recognise Jews at all?
